SECONDED BY: Mr. James Martin
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.: 26, 2000, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury
authorized and directed Badger Meter, Inc. to continue providing the Town of Queensbury Water
Department with radio read meters and accessories during 2000 for a total sum not to exceed
$125,000 to be paid for from Account No.: 40-8340-4320, and
WHEREAS, the Town Comptroller has advised that since the meters and accessories to be
purchased are a new technology and not simply “like-replacements” for worn-out meters, the purchase
and similar purchases in subsequent years must be treated as capital expenditures and therefore, the
40-8340-2300
purchases should instead be charged to Account No.: ,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby amends Resolution
No.: 26, 2000 such that the expenditure for radio meters and accessories to be purchased from Badger
Meter, Inc., shall be charged to Account No.: 40-8340-2300, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Comptroller’s
